The Supreme Court order quashing a Punjab state law which had terminated all water sharing arrangements with neighbouring states is prominently noticed. The Mail today states "President's rule looms over Punjab ; Amarinder and Congress MLAs resign over SC order on Sutlej water; Badals may follow".
The alarming pollution levels in Delhi and neighbouring states have drawn stinging comments from different quarters. The Times of India quotes the National Green Tribunal as saying "Shut power plants, stop construction on bad air days". The Pioneer reports the Delhi High Court as saying "Inaction on pollution genocide".
